For the fifth year in a row, (minus a year of hiatus due to the pandemic) the West Greene Video Club was invited to Waynesburg Central High School by the five county school district band and choir directors to livestream the All-County Band & Choir Concert held this year on Friday, March 31.
Students took part in every aspect of the production, from planning and setup, to producing the main event. They worked together as a team, starting with initial setup - which included equipment placement and running cabling around the auditorium, as well as securing cabling safely to prevent tripping or overhead hazards. They tested equipment as it was put together to ensure working status, designed on-screen graphic overlays, and then produced the stream of the concert Friday evening for those that could not make it to the event in person to still be able to enjoy the talents of the combined ensembles.
You can watch the concert (and other events we have streamed) anytime by searching for ‘West Greene Video Club’ on YouTube, or by following this direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh0wRur3V4U
